After harrowing experiences in the Napoleonic Wars and suffering from what we would now recognise as PTSD, half-English, half-German Lukas is making a home for his mother and sister in the leafy green of England. At least, he is in the country while his sister and mother are in London, falling under the sway of Lady Beatrix, a frivolous socialite who appears to think of nothing but fun and pairing up other people, whether they like it or not.

Story5 out of 5 stars 6
Nowadays the Marquess of Hastings would probably be described as having Asperger's. He's good-looking and rich, but his lack of social skills make it hard for him to find a much-needed wife. He scandalizes the ton by putting an advertisement in the newspaper describing the type of spouse he requires and the marriage of convenience he envisages. Amazingly, he finds a suitable candidate. Elisabeth is an impoverished gentlewoman with literary aspirations. But can this oddly-assorted pair possibly coexist, let alone find happiness?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 213
Lord Farnsworth would rather rot in debtor’s prison than sell the one place that feels like home to him - his mother’s manor. That is, until he meets the woman who wants to buy it. Sally Duncan is beautiful, intelligent, and as rich as a baron. All he needs to do is sell her his beloved manor and then charm her to the altar, and the manor will be his again. Simple, right? But nothing is simple when Sally starts tearing apart his ancestral home and renovating it in a way no one would consider tasteful.

Elena MacKinnon has spent the last seven years training to become a proper English lady. When her childhood friend, Captain Theo Donovan, returns from serving in the Navy, he brings along with him Elena’s humiliation for the ill-advised and ardent love letter she wrote him before his departure, which he ignored entirely. Elena hopes to simultaneously stifle his memory of the letter and make him regret overlooking her, showing him just how fine an English lady she can be. The only problem? She is not English but a proud Scot—and her heart may be more enamored with Theo than ever.

It is Emma who is amazed. But her vexation doesn't last long. For Emma is a practical young lady with a mission: to end her dear sister Lavinia's engagement to the villainous (and dreadfully dull!) Sir Waldo Windbourne, and she thinks that the famous libertine is just the man for the job.

Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would absolutely never think to question the imperious Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to represent the incident to the local constable. And yet that's exactly what she does.

Still, what’s a scientist to do but continue to pursue an outcome, however unexpected it may be? But chemistry is all about attraction, and this is one formula with some hilariously romantic results.

Hidden away in rural Devonshire, Phyllida Satterthwaite has always been considered more odd than beautiful. But in London, her oddity has made her a sensation. Far worse, it’s caught the eye of the sinister Duke of Moreland - a notorious art collector obsessed with acquiring one-of-a-kind treasures. To escape the duke’s clutches, she’s going to need a little help. Captain Arthur Heywood’s days of heroism are long past. Grievously injured in the Peninsular War, he can no longer walk unaided, let alone shoot a pistol. What use can he possibly be to a damsel in distress?

Publisher's summary
Horace the cat saves the day!
The perennially lazy and late Lord Devin is astonished when a petite virago called Wilhelmina accuses him of selling an unfit horse to a drayman. He isn't aware of the irregularities in his stables. Later, she foists a stray, starving kitten called Horace on him. But Hermione, his betrothed, hates cats. And Horace hates her....
Where will it all end? Will Horace have to go? Will Wilhelmina be able to save the ill-treated horses in London? Will everyone end up with the right partner?
This charming Regency story, set against the first Animal Rights Act of 1822, will warm your heart and make you smile. And Horace...well, you'll want to take him home.

At 30 years of age, Susan Jennings has long been considered a spinster. Exceptionally intelligent, she has little tolerance for London and the dreaded Season - if that’s how one is expected to find love, it’s not for her. But when an invitation arrives that cannot be ignored, Susan leaves her comfortable life in the country and enters the fashion and frivolity she most despises. She quickly discovers, however, that there is more to loathe in London - and his name is George Kendall.

A Charismatic Regency Story
I enjoyed this story a lot. I liked the characters. I was entertained by the cat's antics. I appreciated the descriptive phrases which brought to life Regency England, and the use of genuine history as it was set against the backdrop of the "First Animal Rights Act" of 1822. GL Robinson's narration was charming and kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Wonderful Regency Story
The Lord and the Cat's Meow is a new novel by G L Robinson who also gives a terrific performance as the narrator. I found this story to be interesting. Animal rights is just beginning in the late 1800s and I believe that the author has masterfully woven the treatment of horses with a sweet romance. I found the story interesting and the characters are well written and authentic. The Lord and the Cat's Meow is a pleasant way to spend the afternoon.

Interesting Regency romance
Very traditional in sense is all story with little “romance” of the sort so many Regencies seem to have anymore. Not a loss in my opinion. Sex is Not romance and the books I listened to where some sexual act seemed to be perpetrated into every chapter were actually boring before too long. I much prefer the Georgette Heyer style Regency with, hopefully, humor. This book has some humorous scenes and I appreciated Horace very much. Odd listening to the author read her book, but I enjoyed it.

Credit-worthy. Loved it.
This is a favorite for me. Very enjoyable. I had already read the print kindle version twice, but the day it appeared on Audible as a new release I bought it with one of my credits and listened to it that same day.

Very good
A crisp, well written, well narrated, and interesting story. No fluff or mental meanderings to fill pages here. Storyline moves along at an engaging pace. Subtle humor. Lord Devon is fabulous in his subtlety. I hope this author keeps writing more in this genre. The narrator does a surprisingly good job of reading her own work and capturing the tone.
